Here's a question: Does the fact that the "Until the end of the encounter" phase comes first in Lead the Attack and last in Bastion of Defense actually mean anything? The phrasing makes it sound like Bastion of Defense is "Everyone within 5 squares of you right now gets +1 to defense" and then...

Wasn't the D&DXP ranger aligned Good?

Is it my imagination or is this thread repeating itself? Is it time to start looking for the temporal loophole?

I get the feeling that a lot of first fights in 4th edition with BBEGs will contain the phrase "He does WHAT?!".

I think it's more that this is the extent of the given Phane fluff in 4th edition: Now, they go on to spend two sentences to describe the Phane itself, but I think one of those sentences would have been much better spent in describing ways in which the Phane might "manipulate time" to "sow chaos...

The raw powers are a little confusing because they don't have the actual numbers written out. The great news is that Int or Str will never, never, EVER change in the middle of combat.

Seeing as it uses the same naming format as healing word and is conspicuously absent in crunch, I'm guessing this is the Warlord's main healing power.

Woo. Info junkies go!

Oh, wow. That makes perfect sense. I was thinking it was one damage roll for each target and that's where most of the extra time would come from since the attack rolls themselves are comparable to 3e saves.

So, the question is, what prevented the 3e succubus from doing this? The question isn't rhetorical and actually has a pretty important answer. But said answer is going to vary from person to person. My hope is that WotC supported as many different answers to the question as solidly as they...

You know, the concept of the PCs "gaining control" of a succubus is interesting. What do they do with it? Do they go on a charming spree? What on earth could they blackmail such a powerful individual with anyway? That they know who it really is? Why should that matter to it? It has the king...

First example is my hipshot response. The defense is applied to the kobolds on an individual basis and is universal unless the concealment bonus gives you a list of attacks it does not apply against (like area), or the stipulations of area effects say that they ignore or alter the use of...

...oh, ew.

Don't OAs take an immediate action though? Or did I just dream that?

That's so she can tenderize the meat without spilling its blood all over the place.

It's also a level 26 solo. Seeing as all the relevant data about it is in the block (no looking up random feats) I'm amazed it's not even bigger :D Gah! Silly monster data! Gotta staple the war devil and legion devil data to it too!

It's assumed zero. It's an abstract rule. You can say all your devils are running around with +4 tridents if you really want, nothing is stopping you. But, that perhaps puts too much emphasis on ultimately irrelevant items.

Magic threshold is a monster only solution for a monster only problem. The good: Giving a war devil a +5 trident that the PCs can win from him. The bad: The war devil gets +5 to damage and attack rolls, messing up his balanced math. Solution: Lower the bonus he gets so he can have an...

Gets one from each template or 1 from elite and 1 from template.
